Trump recently accepted a live interview with Musk. The interview lasted for more than two hours, and the maximum number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 1.3 million. During the interview, Trump not only talked about domestic policies, but also shared his views on Sino-US relations and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

He praised the leadership capabilities of the leaders of China, Russia and North Korea as "top-notch" and that they are all "protecting their own countries." "I want to get along with them again... you know, getting along with them is a good thing, not a bad thing," Trump said.
Trump believes that as the leader of the United States, he should establish better relations with the leaders of nuclear-armed countries such as China, Russia and North Korea, because the biggest threat facing the world is not global warming, but thermonuclear war.
In the past few years, Trump has often boasted about his personal relationship with the leaders of China, Russia and North Korea, and claimed that this relationship can help solve diplomatic problems. However, from the current point of view, Trump's behavior is purely a "grandma selling melons and boasting himself". The reactions of China, Russia and North Korea are relatively cold, because as long as Trump has not won the election, then he is just a "former president" ”: It’s okay to bet appropriately in advance, but it’s not necessary to go too close.
[The interview lasted for more than two hours, and Trump talked about many topics]
For example, last month, Trump stated that he was prepared to restore relations with the North Korean leader after being re-elected as president in November. , he believes the North Korean leader "is missing him."
In response, North Korea’s official media KCNA published an editorial in response, saying that no matter how Trump promotes his views on the prospects of U.S.-North Korea relations, it cannot change the reality that under the vicious competition between the two parties, U.S. foreign policy is It was very confusing, so North Korea decided to ignore it.
KCNA emphasized that although Trump has tried hard to show friendly personal relations between the leaders of the United States and North Korea, this has not led to any positive changes in North Korea-US relations during his administration. The editorial recommended that Trump "seriously consider the gains and losses of the confrontation between North Korea and the United States and separate personal affairs from public affairs, foreign policy from personal emotions."

However, a few days later, a source familiar with Pyongyang affairs told the media that North Korea actually hopes that Trump will win the election. The United States and North Korea have resumed contact and high-level negotiations.
It is not difficult to see that Russia and North Korea prefer Trump to come to power, but it is not convenient to say it now.
Back to business. Trump emphasized that for the United States, domestic threats "Much more dangerous" than threats from abroad, including those from China and Russia. If there is a "smart president" in office, there will be "no problems" between China and the United States, he said. The situation in the United States is very bad now, and no one respects the United States. And if he can win the 2020 election, neither the Russia-Ukraine conflict nor the Gaza conflict will happen. , the Russia-Ukraine conflict will not happen]
is still bragging without drafting.Trump boasted that he could "solve the problems between China and Russia," but in fact he failed to do these things during his first term. What's more, it's 2024 now, and the situation is completely different from eight years ago. The conflicts between China, the United States, and the United States and Russia are far more intense than they were then.
Trump always likes to say "if he could be re-elected, some things would not happen", but this is just "if" and a way to brag about himself. The past four years have passed, and Trump’s boast cannot be disproven, and if it is to be proven, then he must be elected to office. Once in office, Trump, like other politicians, will forget these boastful words in the blink of an eye.
Trump also talked about the situation between Russia and Ukraine. He said he "got along very well" with Putin, who respected him, and that they would discuss Ukraine - although Putin took Ukraine very seriously, but he would tell Putin "don't do it."

At the same time, he also talked about Zelensky. On the 20th of last month, Zelensky had a phone call with Trump. This was the first phone call between the two since 2020. Obviously, this phone call made Trump feel respected, so he changed his previous evaluation of Zelensky in this interview. He no longer blamed Zelensky, but said: "I understand Zelensky." Ki, he treated me with respect and it was a perfect call.”
As for how to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is still unwilling to make his plans public. But from his evaluation of Biden, we may be able to get a glimpse of it. He said: "Biden's IQ is very low... When he admitted the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, he was actually talking nonsense."
Considering the current public opinion environment in the West, even if Trump wants to quickly gain power after taking office To resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, he may not be able to put too much pressure on Ukraine on territorial issues. Judging from his previous statements, he is very opposed to Ukraine joining NATO - because he has no good impression of NATO itself and believes that European allies are wasting American taxpayers' money.
So it is possible that Trump will use "Ukraine gives up joining NATO and promises to remain neutral" as a condition in exchange for Russia's withdrawal of troops from eastern Ukraine. As for whether Russia will agree, I'm afraid it depends on how Putin weighs the pros and cons and the future development of the situation in Kursk - but one thing is for sure, that is Trump's so-called "self and other countries" Good personal relationships between leaders” will not play any decisive role in this.
